What features of prokaryotic cells bacteria can you visibly

What features of prokaryotic cells (bacteria) can you visibly see at 1000X? How do cyanobacteria differ from other bacteria like Escherichia coli, if you don\'t include size and shape? Assuming the cells observed here are average representatives of the various biological groups, how would you categorize the size of prokaryotic cells versus eukaryotic cells? Demonstrate using your measurements.

Solution

ANSWER:

2. Shape of the prokaryotic cell can be visibly see at 1000x

3. The features which are seen in cyanobacteria and that are absent in other bacteria are---

Absence of flagella, ( present in bacteria)

   Presence of chlorophyll a ( bacteriochlorophyll in other bacteria)

   Presence of accessory pigments like phycocyanin and phycoerythrin

reserve food is cyanophycean starch ( glycogen in other bacteria)

3. The prokaryotic cells are 1-10 micro metres while eukaryotic cells are 10-100 micrometres in size
